Re: question - Byetta

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your input, . Loss of appetite is another concern

of mine - I don't have any weight to lose! I know it can be a

blessing for those trying to get their weight down, but I already

have to force myself to eat - I'm scared I won't be able to if I go

on this. Doc says try it and if I can't handle it, just stop and let

him know...so at least he hears my concerns and is willing to work

with me. ;o) Thanks again for posting this.
